Video: Ice Boating on West Grand Traverse Bay

With recent daytime and nighttime temperatures fluctuating above and below the freezing point, the ice on West Grand Traverse Bay has been slowly smoothing into a mirror-like sheen. With steady winds and glassy ice, the stage was set for area ice boaters to set their sails for a screaming ride across the bay. MyNorth videographer Kris Riley bundled up and filmed the ice boats in action, and also caught up with the frosty daredevils at the helms of these lightweight ice boats.
